Billhook

Fleet Command asked a question nobody expected: what if we stopped shooting and started hauling? The Billhook strips the weapon mount entirely in favor of dual gas collection arrays and a compression- rated cargo hold. It keeps the Crimson hull plating — it can take hits, it just can't return them. The tradeoff is pure volume, and the volume is considerable. The default loadout fills every available slot, which is either a sign of purposeful engineering or Crimson stubbornness about empty spaces. Pilots who miss having a gun are encouraged to bring an escort.
